When newbs invade, NB goes down.
- Thread starter ZK
- Start date
I'm a veteran of 3 years, and I keep coming and going back and forth to this site. It seems I always come back, no matter what happens. And like, I came back a month ago and like, all my old friends are gone. I miss Bisha, Elias, Roku, Raggeh, Grimmeh, Kiwi, and sometimes even buttface. It's really changed
And some of the new people (no offense) are kinda agitating. COME BACK PEOPLE!!!! >.<

Idk if I'm considered a "senior" or not, but I've been on NB for quite a while and I do remember how things used to be. IMO the problem with NB isn't just alot of noobs. Because as many have said already, everyone is a noob at some point. Generally noobs learn the rules and how things work and slowly become, maybe not pro or OP, but decent, knowledgable RP'rs
I think one of the big problems that started making NB less fun was the introduction of "killing" and "stealing" in the RP. That's a big part of why almost all battles end in a big argument. There's too much to lose. People put time and effort into their bios and don't want to be forced to re-create them or make new ones just because they got out-matched.
Another problem is the unfairness of the RP. Yes, I'm talking about OPness again. The senior members don't see this as a problem because they don't want to lose many of the things they've worked so hard for, but it is a problem. They gained much of their power in a time where there were little restrictions. Which is all well and good, but the problem lies in that there are many restrictions now. It's no longer possible to get to that level of OPness, so anyone going up against a senior OP member, especially in things like wars because they will not hold back, is doomed to lose every time. Now, I've expressed my opinions on this before, and have read what the senior members have said about it. After such, I don't think that their things (customs, bios, etc) should be taken away from them since they did work so hard to build them, but instead the restrictions should be lessened or removed to allow everyone to BE ABLE to get to the same level.
That's my opinion on why NB isn't as much fun anymore. Basically, it's just gotten too competitive because there's too much at stake. The OPness of the seniors wouldn't even matter much at all if you they would just get rid of the killing/stealing because then it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you can just focus on having a fun battle, and the seniors wouldn't feel forced to use their OPness.
So my suggestion is just get rid of killing and stealing and I think this would be a major improvement to NB

how's that even possible, unless NB was created in November/December 2007, it isn't possible to be a 3 year veteran, but nevertheless. I see what you mean, many veterans are leaving because there friends are leaving, this ofcourse creates a chain reaction, which will empty NB of veterans, but what can we do about it, they'll leave no matter what...I'm a veteran of 3 years, and I keep coming and going back and forth to this site.

Sorry for the double post, but i must say that i'm positively surprised, that one of the "old timers", finally see one of the real problems. Everyone creates their own cool bio, and ofcourse they don't want to lose it, a good example of that, is the battle raging right now, between Theos and Kaziname, Theos want Kaziname's bio for some doll, and ofcourse Kaziname don't want to loose his bio, just so another RP'er can earn some cheap OPness of it. Bio's are precious and personal, and no one, unless they want to make new, want's to loose their bio, so i say remove the killing.
Now about the restrictions, well that's a hard one, because if you removed the restrictions, what then? Those who's just created some cool styles or jutsus, which right now would be very strong, would in a flash be left with jutsus which could be made so much stronger, because of the lesser restrictions, overall it would be good for the very new, okay for the veterans, and damn shitty for the half new/half veterans.

Well I don't really mean a total removal of the restrictions. Just remove the ones that are like, people who already have something can keep it, but no one else can get it from now on.
And make CJs easier to be approved.
Stuff like that.
I literally danced in happiness. Point made, but even better.
This is why I no longer care about customs or use customs in a battle. If I want a battle, then it's no customs or custom elements. You are right about Seniors being OPed - it's nothing bad, they were here longer after all, but it does in fact give new people to NB an unfair advantage.
About wars...they should make rules to have no customs or such. I don't know why NB has died down, and I can't always pin down the facts...but...
Agreed, and it shouldn't happen just like that, i think it should happen slowly but steady, so that people can get used to it, and create their CJ's after it.
Well if you don't care then give me your customs and CE's xd JK
No seriously, i know what you're saying, but i do think that there's some customs that should be made regular, so that everyone can learn them, instead of just a few.
The same thing is repeated over and over,
'nb is full of noobs'
'nb has changed'
'nb is not the same'
etc etc
Honestly, it's like listening to a broken record.
The thing that people fail to realise is that NB will continue to change, this site has almost 53 000 members from around the world. There are more and more members joining everyday. We are all unique individuals and all with differing points of views. This site isn't made for just one individual, it's made for all of us to share as a community. [otherwise Versuvio would of kicked us all out a long time ago <_>]
And never forget that every single person on this site was once a noob.
So don't complain about things changing, embrace it or atleast give it a chance.
And yes i know i'm late with this post ~_~
